Re: Additional Fakes from Baltimore Seller
Looks like a Victrola to me... it really wouldn't be worth making a fake of a $240 machine.

Looks like a Walnut case VV-100 that has had the finish messed with and given a new motor board, but is basically authentic.
Walnut is relatively uncommon on these

Re: Additional Fakes from Baltimore Seller
It certainly started life as a Victrola, but....
The motor and the motor board look like replacements.
Surely it should have a 12 inch turntable not a 10 inch.
The horn has moved from it's original position and now occupies part of the record compartment.

Sad for a cabinet with unusual wood to end-up this way....

Re: Additional Fakes from Baltimore Seller
It appear to have an odd motor or turntable, but the machine itself seems to be pretty much a common walnut VV-100.

It may have stated out as a VV-100 carcass, but the horn looks a bit odd as well. Not worth much in my opinion.Uncle Vanya wrote:It appear to have an odd motor or turntable, but the machine itself seems to be pretty much a common walnut VV-100.
(I just noticed this discussion has two threads, what's up with that?)
